    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    I wasn’t implying that Taiwan products are inferior. The grapple on initial inspection is very well made. It’s obvious that someone was making sure it was made right. If I’m comparing a Taiwan product to the “Piraña”, the Taiwanese wins every time. I’m going to buy certified life support...

    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    I played around with the RC Grapple today. I have a small sugar maple that has some lower branches. First impression, it’s well built for being made in Taiwan. It’s not life support so I’m ok with that. The weight is listed as 1.4 lbs but, I haven’t weighed it. It has smooth edges and feels...

    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    No. I watched AJ cat rescues and thought hooks would be handy for positioning.

    Climbing pants

    @Webfoot for Climbing. I’m sure most folks here get climbing pants longer so they don’t ride up your legs.

    Climbing pants

    The Wrangler Riggs Workwear Men's Ripstop Carpenter Jean with the ripstop material are pretty comfortable and last. At least for me. My current pair are 3 years old but, are ready to be replaced. Get them longer than what you wear.

    A couple of cat rescues

    I enjoy the rescues. I also study your techniques to help me with movement around a tree. I see the hook you use a RW but, the green rope just a prusik. So you have 3 systems working? No lanyard or is the green acting as it? In a work situation you would have a lanyard while wielding a saw? Craig

    Throw line/ throw weight thread

    I was on a job the other day without my preferred Zing-it. I used a Weaver kit with 14oz bag and heavy throw line, cube. It worked great. I’m currently searching for it.

    SRS and MRS length

    So….two ropes tied with a Zeppelin, Figure-8 Bend or something else? Isn’t the knot going to be troublesome? I get on a base tie at 90ft crotch with a 100ft rope and another on the backside. What’s the other usage or only base tie?

    SRS and MRS length

    I’m going to buy another rope because I’m thinking about trying to get higher on open air SRS. Not that there’s anything wrong with my 150ft hyperclimb thats 2.5 years old with light use. I’m debating about a 120-200ft rope. Typically when I SRS, I’ll canopy tie with a Quickie with an Alpine...

    Free faller SoCal

    The forestry project I’m working is fun. I’m gaining a lot more experience with directing the falls and perfecting my technique. I’ve dropped countless trees on the property and it is a blast so I understand the draw!

    2024 Kentucky Tree Climbing Championship (KYTCC)

    I had a blast watching the events. It was enlightening and entertaining. They had 4 guys in the masters. Ryan Kessler won it. He is a very talented climber. I don’t do FB but, the list and photos are there.

    2024 Kentucky Tree Climbing Championship (KYTCC)

    I think 25 competitors for tomorrow. I was at the walk through this afternoon. The events look setup really good. Here’s the accent to 50ft and a photo under the work climb.
